Christmas Dress for Abbi

Didn't realize how long it's been since I posted!  I have been busy with work and Christmas preparations as I'm sure everyone is. 

I am still working on the Rollie Pollies for the kids for Christmas.  Abbi's is finished and I just have to fill Connor's and Tristan's and sew up the "fill hole".  I will post pics of these when they are all done.

Yesterday I made a dress for Abbi to wear to our family Boxing Day celebration at my sister's.  Sam (Abbi's mom, my daughter) picked out the fabric.  I used Ellie Inspired's "Daddy's Girl" pattern to make this.  This pattern was easy to sew.  I just love puffed sleeves on little girls!










I found the snowflake buttons at Fabricland.  I used snaps to close the back of the dress and then just sewed the buttons the outside of the closure.

Now to fill the Rollie Pollies!  Made a big mess with the first one...hope these go better!

  1. Hi Mary! Your Daddy's Girl dress turned out so adorable! I love the snowflakes and the matching buttons. I agree - there is nothing sweeter than little girls in puffed sleeves. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! Thanks for your help this year in testing patterns for me. You are a very talented seamstress. Love, Laura
